The seahorse aquarium - CRAZY UPDATE!

[@TheADavvg]

This was truly a good video! (They all are but this one was a little better) Saw different types of fish, aquariums, products, toturials on different subjects, throwbacks, sadness, smiles - pretty much a little slice of everything, i loved it! - And that piranha tank, WOW!

[@NotKumiYeou]

you might do well with getting 3 or 4 sand sifting starfish for the seahorses. they're less invasive than the shrimp and of course slower, and they'll eat what does fall into the sandbed keeping it even more clear, and they're good, in my experience, eating the brown slime algaes that appear

[@dhammaboy1203]

And they’ll looks super-cool! 👍🏻

[@kathrynthomas6390]

That sounds unbelievably awesome!

[@andrewarnott2428]

Yes or sand sifting gobies . Great tank Joey

[@NotKumiYeou]

@Dianoia Noesis not typically, but with seahorses being so passive they can be considered too "aggressive" in some cases like shown here. sand sifting stars are much slower and less aggressive and while they have eyes they can't see well and won't specifically target an area. turbo snails will stick to rockwork and glass and not touch the open sand bed much, and in my experience will absolutely eat the caulerpa and other macro algae that's trying to be grown here

[@NinjaSushi2]

I'd say nassarius snails or serpent stars are a good idea too. Perhaps a tiger conch because they're cool. 😎 Gotta have cool points.

[@roguedragon3432]

If you wanted to add something "different" to the seahorse tank, you could try Pipefish basically seahorses but horizontal and straight.

[@RavenSaint1]

I would suggest a Sea Dragon. The Species of Seahorse/Pipefish that looks like seaweed floating. Leafy Seadragon

[@roguedragon3432]

@@RavenSaint1 can you get those legally? I've only ever seen them in public aquariums

[@marksmith566]

Good shout 👍

[@jimbo6514]

@@RavenSaint1 Sea dragon's are difficult fish to look after. Also quite expensive for most modern fish on the market.

there is nothing silly about getting excited about watching runners spread out. i love watching nature spread and take over and flourish.

[@bon_grippah]

As someone who has been watching and following you for around 5 years, can I just say thank you for entertaining me through some of the darkest times in my life and the changes have been a pleasure to see. If you ever feel like you are wasting your time or feel like your content is not getting the views you want, know that you have helped a lot of people just by uploading your passion for us to enjoy

[@zyrota4295]

6 or 7 years ago you were the one that made me interested in fish now I have 4 tanks and am in love with the hobby. I recently had a catastrophe with toxic chemicals getting into two of my tanks and have to restock. I would have never had tanks if I didn't see your videos.

[@jonathan__g]

I am excited to see your shrimp tank. I have always found shrimp tanks to be very underrated. Everyone likes to see the monster fish but a well scaped shrimp tank and a bunch of shrimp darting around can be very entertaining to watch.

[@KPTAquatics]

Great job joey, you got me back into the hobby. I have a 2 gal, 10 gal, 60 gal 70 gal, 75 gal, and 125 gallon. I even have a basement room dedicated to my PC and fish tanks.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Sounds like me

[@indyhobby3726]

Glad to see your excitement in the hobby again and can't wait to see your plans for the future unfold

[@fbm_cristof]

now that you're doing the projects you enjoy instead of trying to cater new hobbyists your videos and tanks are better than ever thankyou for sharing it with us!

[@crustybustacean8682]

You're krilling me with that shrimp teaser at the end! So excited to see!

[@rugeramerican308]

I havent watched any of your vids for over a year, good to see youre doing well! Cool fish and tanks getting cooler and cooler😎

[@j_toledo419]

Bro, you have done MORE than enough of considerate videos for people that may not have a large budget, it's time to embrace being the King of Fishkeeping, embrace showing what the best of the hobby can be. 💯💯👍👍

[@ChevyWRuger]

A green mandarin (aqua cultured) would be a great tank mate for the sea horses. Also tiger a few conch would really help your sand bed.

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

You are totally wicked, now I have to wait for your next video! Well, I was gonna watch it anyhow but still. I love how happy you are and how pleased you are with what you’re doing and how everything is turning out I am living vicariously through you Joey, thanks……later then

[@DJPacoRamirez]

Just today in the morning I was looking for a new upload. Thank you!

[@marksmith566]

Think this was one of your best vids for a while Joey, genuinely looked like you were excited and reinvigorated and it’s great to see more salty critters as they really do have that personality and interest that’s not quite there with freshwater (keep both btw) 👍

[@Neptune.Threepwood]

What you keep in the tank gets smaller and your tank keepers (huge arms and shoulders) get bigger. Amazing video! So much great information! 💪

[@davidmc321]

Thanks

[@Loveofpets]

I am so excited to see the sea horses and their update. Now I am excited for the next video 😀

[@jamesharrigan6714]

Great video as usual. The more you build tanks that you love rather than what the "internet" wants the better the videos are. I kept mandarinfish/ dragonets with a few different species of seahorses for years. Their diet is the same as seahorses so food was not a problem and "mine" were slow moving and none aggressive, but like you said maybe it worked for me.

[@kimwiklund3934]

Joey video... !!!!! Looking forward to that future video. I love shrimp they are so interesting and unique. That Piranha Tank has started to look stunningly good. with how the pack together so much and constantly swim around =)

[@dhammaboy1203]

One of my favourote tanks you’ve done Joey! I totally understand why you are excited about your salt water plants growing! The cleaner shrimp where insanely cute - shame they didn’t work together! And yep - now I want a “mythical” seahorse tank! : )

[@dianewurzer3019]

Your brain never stops, you always come up with something new , something odd , something interesting. That’s why we keep coming back ,trying to keep up with you and see what you’re doing it .

[@junior1199ps3]

All your aquariums are beautiful, true work of art!

[@dazsboxofwater]

Dope video , I’m debating a small breeder set up for the kitchen side & adding sea horses. How about a conch snail for the sand bed?

[@waterlover]

Having been absent for a while but after watching the seahorse tank I’m happy I came in to watch. Maybe add some pipefish with the seahorses to get some movement . Since you have all that yummy stuff for cocopods, misys, tiger pods you can see your tank with them and could be a self sustaining tank, adding all those live foods in my tank when I had my seahorse tank made the huge difference. Everything was breeding and keeping my seahorses alive for well over 6 years

[@nick92028]

Oh great tip! I just ordered some Zyme Monster 360. I over stock and I have so many plants, that sludge builds up under and between things. I hope this works!

[@FruttiloopZ]

Love it, love it, love it, did i say Love it. lol thank you for your uploads look forward to them always. Seahorses are one of my favourites. Once again thank you . Much Love Bless No Less.

[@soundwave6083]

Just a quick suggestion for your Seahorse tank. To help with the left over proteins that are uneaten, I would highly recommend a HOB protein skimmer. I only do marine fish setups, and I run a protein skimmer on every tank I have. Will help you tremendously with possible ammonia spikes.

[@NinjaSushi2]

His tank is plumbed and his skimmer is probably underneath.

[@oldchunkofcoal2774]

Way cooler to bring in various clean up specialist animals to do the job.

[@saradejesus9869]

Your seahorses are so adorable.

[@startswinging3590]

Great video Joey. I only been sitting around for the last 13 days waiting for a video from you lol

[@stephsexoticpets]

STAR FISH STAR FISH! Those seahorses are the cutest EVER. so glad i got to see these cuties in a King of DIY aquarium

[@bjhubbard3922]

Conches are a good clean up crew for ur sand. Same goes with hermit crabs. Also, some other types of marcoalgea can help with water quality. Racemosa is really good for high nitrates. But do keep in mind that racemosa can to sexual. Which a part of the algea will turn white then release spots in the tank. This is harmless. Just clouds up the water for a bit.

[@jetjazz05]

Nerites are salt or freshwater, I know in my freshwater tank they keep the glass spotless. Super inert little critters, I've kept them with predatory fish that don't play with others as well as tanks with crystal shrimp which in my experience have always been easily spooked. I'd often times catch a crystal red picking at the backs of the nerites lol.

[@bjhubbard3922]

@@jetjazz05 nerites are freshwater. Nassarius are probably what u was thinking of but all nassarius do is clean under the sand but I haven't seen mine do much but they are all very small

[@thornsbalckrose]

Could you do a feeding cage on the side of the tank and get a tank cleaner that can't climb the glass and is a bottom feeder?

Hey Joey, may i suggest getting some nassarius and strawberry lipped conch to help with cleaning. Both great for the sand and uneaten food. Ps there's plenty of other fish that are fine with seahorses. Great vid

[@christopherwescott551]

Awesome video Joey. I love all your tanks,after seeing your sea horse tank I'm curious to know if keeping a sea dragon is something possible. It's like a bigger longer version of a sea horse. If it is possible I'd love to see you keep them in your gallery.

[@angie51081]

[@DJRiotNinja]

Maybe you can 3-d print a small cage that's heavy enough to sink that also has slots big enough for the seahorses to stick thier mouths in but not big enough to let the shrimp in? Honestly I don't think it would take much work... think about it ❤️

[@missthang4982]

I've been doing fishies for 25+ years. I've never had the courage to move from freshwater to salt. I just couldn't handle the guilt of screwing up my ph and losing my fishies. Freshwater is easier. I have her pretty down pat. Years ago....I watched a friend's salt tank lose $1600.00 in fish in one afternoon because of 1. of ph being off. I can't handle that pressure. So kudos to you my friend.

[@tigercow]

This was a beautiful video, Mr. Joey.

[@bienbalajadia8345]

Sand is brown due to diatoms in there. Tank is still cycling. I suggest adding a lot of marine snails in there as your clean up crew..

[@allisonhavens6010]

I don't know if you have considered it but if you add pipefish the are beneficial to seahorses. They are in the same family but much more mobile and the seahorses will use them to move around the tank more freely

[@joaocardoso8558]

You want that sand nice and clean? You need a couple Sand Sifting Snails (Strombus luthanus) and some Nassarius snails. Possibly some starfish as well.

[@caewalker9276]

You'll have to try Pipefish next Joey. Thanks for the update.

[@gabrielayala539]

Hey Joey out of curiosity do you run a dehumidifier in your fish room? And do you know if the water collected from a dehumidifier is safe for fish?

[@crazypufferfish7780]

I have my 30 for fahaka puffers in community tanks also. They were raised with other fish and they get along fine. The only time I see real aggression is when the male tries to breed with the female

[@Leeuwtje1979]

Seahorses are so so hard to keep. I hope it goes well and they survive. Breeding is also very hard. I'm curious to see how it evolves.

[@sanguineregis5354]

Could you use one of those growth pads or refugiums to grow algae in a spot where yiu can easily remove it, thereby removing the nutrients the algae wants from the tank or would that harm the plants/macroalgaes as well?

[@ja-canadian5451]

Since the shrimp learned after a few days where the food is, and since you now have a shrimp tank. Could you cycle the shrimp in and out so that the shrimp are only in the Seahorse tank for a few days before returning to the main shrimp tank, and replace them with other shrimp from the shrimp tank stock? A lot of work maybe, but....

[@djgremlin5830]

[@benwoodford2408]

You should get a pike or a bass, that would be a very cool tank to watch.

Would two dishes have helped? Wait for the shrimp to go to one, then put some more for the seahorses in their dish? Moving them works, too, of course lol. Would starfish help with cleaning that tank? I've seen them stick on tanks before, but I'll be honest, I don't know enough about them and whether they'd clean glass. Seahorse and starfish would be cute, though lol Would a leafy seadragon work with that tank? Or be something that would interest you?
